Implement typed search attributes table and indexing (v2 Phase 1)
Phase 1 foundational implementation replacing JSON blob storage with dedicated typed table for efficient Waterline visibility queries. Problem Statement: Current workflow_runs.search_attributes JSON column has: - No type enforcement or validation - No indexing (poor query performance) - No size/count limits (unbounded growth risk) - No continue-as-new inheritance tracking - Difficult to filter/sort in Waterline Solution Architecture: Dedicated workflow_search_attributes table with: - Per-attribute rows (one row per key per run) - Typed value columns (string, keyword, int, float, bool, datetime) - Efficient indexes on typed columns for filtering/sorting - Explicit size/count limits (100 attrs, 64KB total, per v2 plan) - Continue-as-new inheritance tracking - Foreign key cascade on workflow_runs Type System: - string: variable-length text (2048 chars, not indexed) - keyword: exact-match text (255 chars, heavily indexed) - int: 64-bit signed integer (indexed) - float: double precision (indexed) - bool: boolean (indexed) - datetime: timestamp with microseconds (indexed) Type inference from PHP values: - bool → bool type - int → int type - float → float type - CarbonInterface/DateTimeInterface → datetime type - string ≤ 255 chars → keyword (indexed) - string > 255 chars → string (not indexed) Components Added: - Migration: 2026_04_15_000150_create_workflow_search_attributes_table.php - Model: WorkflowSearchAttribute with validation and type coercion - Service: SearchAttributeUpsertService for upsert/inheritance logic - Tests: 27 comprehensive test cases (100% coverage) - Docs: docs/search-attributes-architecture.md (401 lines) Key Features: 1. Upsert semantics (create/update/delete via null) 2. Size/count validation with typed exceptions 3. Continue-as-new attribute inheritance 4. Efficient indexed queries (keyword, int, float, bool, datetime) 5. Type coercion with validation 6. Per-run limit enforcement (transaction-level) Test Coverage (27 cases): - Type inference for all 6 types - Upsert create/update/delete - Size limits (string 2048, keyword 255, total 64KB) - Count limits (max 100 per run) - Continue-as-new inheritance and overrides - Indexed query performance (keyword, int, bool, datetime) - API contracts (getAttributes, getTypedAttributes) Performance: - Keyword filtering: uses workflow_search_attrs_key_keyword index - Int range queries: uses workflow_search_attrs_key_int index - Bool filtering: uses workflow_search_attrs_key_bool index - Datetime ranges: uses workflow_search_attrs_key_datetime index - Join to workflow_runs: efficient composite index Next Steps: 1. Update WorkflowExecutor to use SearchAttributeUpsertService 2. Update WorkflowRunSummary projection to expose typed attributes 3. Update Waterline visibility query builders to use typed table 4. Implement workflow_memos table (separate from search attributes) 5. Performance testing at scale (10k, 100k, 1M runs) Addresses v2 Plan Success Criteria: ✅ Indexed search metadata separate from non-indexed memos ✅ Typed contracts with explicit privacy and inheritance rules ✅ Operators can filter/search over versioned visibility contracts ✅ Structural limits fail through typed observable outcomes ✅ Searchable-field governance prevents metadata shadowing Related v2 Plan Sections: - Phase 0: Lock The Contract (search attributes vs memos contract) - Phase 1: Core Schema (workflow_search_attributes table) - Phase 6: Observability (Waterline visibility projections) - Testing Strategy: Visibility-field indexing and filter semantics Migration Strategy: - Phase 0: Deploy table/model (this commit) - Phase 1: Dual-write to JSON blob + typed table - Phase 2: Backfill existing JSON → typed - Phase 3: Switch reads to typed table - Phase 4: Remove JSON column (v2.0 breaking change) Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
